  2. Agenda • Overview of SciFinder Content • Databases • Currency • Search Examples • Topic • Author • Structure • Additional topics and Hands on practice

  3. Databases of SciFinder • CAplus • CASREACT • CHEMCATS • CHEMLIST • MEDLINE/OLD MEDLINE • REGISTRY

  4. CAplus • A CAS literature database containing references to research published in journals, patents, and other sources • Contains Bibliographic, Abstract and Indexing Information – all searchable • 1907 to present (some 1800’s) • Over 23,650,000 records • Updated daily

  5. Medline/Old Medline • A literature database containing references to Medical research published in journals • Contains Bibliographic, Abstract and Indexing Information – all searchable • 1953 to present • About 14,500,00 references • Updated 4 times per week

  6. Registry • Substance Database containing CAS RN, Structures, Chemical Names, Properties, Sequences • 1957 to present • Over 73 Million substances

  7. CASREACT • Database of Reactions • 1840 to present • 8,517,229 Single- and multi-step reactions • Search full or half reactions • Search Reactants, Reagents, Products, catalysts, any Role

  8. CHEMCATS • Quickly and easily obtain current information on commercially available chemicals and their worldwide suppliers • More than 8.1 million products • 734 suppliers • 834 catalogs • Updated upon receipt of new catalog

  9. CHEMLIST • Regulatory information from 19 Government Regulatory lists around the world • 235,034 Inventoried/regulated substances • Updated Weekly

  10. Sources of SciFinder • Over 9,000 journals monitored • Patents (50 patent organizations) • Technical disclosures • Conference proceedings • Technical reports • Books • Dissertations • Reviews • Meeting abstracts • Web preprints • IP.com Journal • Electronic-only journals • etc

  12. SciFinder Improves the Process

  13. SciFinder Saves Time

  14. SciFinder Provides Current Information

  15. SciFinder Exposes New Research

  16. SciFinder Makes Searching Easy

  17. Explore Topics

  18. Searching by Company/Organization

  19. Chiang Mai Search Results

  20. Limitation by Author

  21. Analysis by topics of Interest

  22. Index term analysis

  23. Get Related Information

  24. Get Related feature • Starting your search from a text explore • Obtain all the substances indexed in the reference list • Answer set must be <1000 references • Refine with structure fragments or calculated properties • Obtain the older cited references or forward citing references • Answer set must be <500 references

  25. Citation searching • The CAplus database includes citations from journal and patent references • Only from 1998-present • 1997 is in progress • From roman script sources • Over 100 million citations • Older references can be searched as citing references • Results limited to 1998-present

  26. Author Search

  27. Author Candidates

  28. Full Text Patent

  29. Citing References

  30. Analysis of those who referenced paper

  31. Better substance searching • Pharmaceutical compounds are seldom simple neutral compounds • Beware that salts and mixtures may have their own CAS Registry number • Better to search known compound as an exact structure that as a name • Includes different stereoisomers, salts and mixtures • Can copy/paste a CAS Registry to import the structure

  32. Explore by Structure Search

  33. Explore by Structure Search Additional options allow for The inclusion or exclusion of Certain substance classes.

  34. Explore by Structure Search

  35. Analyze and Refine

  36. Analyze features

  37. Analyze Features

  38. Refine Substances

  39. Explore by Structure Search

  40. Styrene-Isoprene polymers

  41. With additional components: 573 Not possible to limit the maximum number of components

  42. Without addl. components: 22 May include some oligomers and radio-labeled compounds

  43. Searching by MF • For addition polymers and most condensation polymers put the molecular formula of the monomers, separated by dots, within brackets and close with an “X” • (C8H8)x for styrene homopolymer • (C8H8 . C5H8)x for styrene-isoprene polymers • For structural repeating units of symmetric condensation polymers put the formula of the repeating unit within brackets and close with an “N” • (C14H12O4)n for polybutylene terephthalate • (C2H4O)nCH4O for -methyl--hydroxy PE

  44. Results for (C8H8 . C5H8)x

  45. Coordination CompoundsMolecular Weight Easily search coordination compounds with either a molecular weight or a structure.

  46. Coordination Compounds Structure and Refinement The additional options button allows for refinement of answers prior to the search.
